John Roberts has been wowing audiences with his live performance skills and original character work across the country and on television. He provides the voice of Linda in the upcoming FOX animated primetime comedy “Bob’s Burgers,” premiering January 2011. He has appeared on Good Day NY and MTV’s It’s On with Alexa Chung, and has appeared several times on NBC’s Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. He is currently developing a pilot for MTV.

Even with all that, John is just getting warmed up! He formed the band Opti-Grab which went on to play with such acts as Blondie, Gogol Bordello, Scissor Sisters and Tom Tom Club. He has worked with Debbie Harry, Jack Pierson, and The Ones in several musical collaborations. In April 2009, John performed “Jersey Days,” a brand new one-man show, at Ars Nova, co-written with Bob Odenkirk and produced by Jim Biederman. This fall, he performed in a national tour with Margaret Cho and hosted a monthly show at Comix in NYC, featuring guests like David Cross, Kristen Schaal and Eugene Mirman.

John first gained attention as one of the standout performer/writers on YouTube. His first viral video “The Christmas Tree” was hailed as an instant comedy classic. It was nominated for a broadband Emmy award and was featured on VH1’s Best Week Ever, Comedy Central Insider and countless other blogs and websites. The follow up “Jackie & Debra” won The Comedy Smalls award in London, was featured on YouTube, and has a huge cult following both young and old. He has over 10 million hits on Youtube and counting.

As a kid, I always liked comedy and would listen to albums by George Carlin, Bob Newhart, Bill Cosby, and Lenny Bruce. Despite my enjoyment of these great talents, I decided to pursue an unfunny career and left Los Angeles for San Francisco State College to be a lawyer. When that did not hold my attention, I switched majors and ended up getting a Bachelor of. Art Degree in Communications.
